What's the Division Property of Inequality?
What is the Division Property of Inequality?
Summary
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- To avoid dividing by zero, 'c' cannot equal zero
- 'c > 0' means 'c' is a positive number
- We divide by 'c' as a way of showing how the Division Property of Inequality works
- 'c < 0' means 'c' is a negative number

Notes
-
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
- 'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions by zero!
-
- 'c' must not be zero in order to avoid any divisions by zero!
- 'c is GREATER THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a positive number
- 'c is LESS THAN zero' is a fancy way of saying 'c' is a negative number
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
-
- What is done to one side of the inequality must be done to the other side!
-
- 'a' and 'b' are just variables representing numbers here
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
-
-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
-
- Dividing by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality symbol

-
- 'a', 'b', and 'c' are just variables representing numbers here
-
- You only need to reverse the direction of the symbol if what you are dividing by is negative
